U of G Alert Sign Up Help

Applies to all Gryphmail holders

This page shows you how to add additional email addresses and phone numbers to U of G Alert, the University’s emergency notification system. In an emergency, the more ways we can reach you, the better.

This will redirect you to the University’s standard single sign on page where you can enter your university credentials. If you have already signed in to your browser session, you will be automatically logged in.

Once logged in, you can see the ‘My Profile’ screen. Your uoguelph.ca email address has already been added to your account.

Click Edit to add another email address and phone number the system can use to send you emergency alerts. Choose the contact methods you use the most. It is recommended that you sign up for at least one additional method.

NOTE: You can also enter a family email address and text/SMS phone number. These contacts will be used only under extreme circumstances when the University deems it necessary to send a separate notification to extended family contacts regarding a serious situation. This is not a way to contact you, but to reach your emergency contacts to keep them informed.

You can define the order in which U of G Alert attempts to contact you by using the red arrow buttons to re-order the list.

NOTE: The Family Email address and Family text options should always be at the bottom of your order.

Set your Time Zone, for Ridgetown select GMT -5:00 Eastern Standard Time (America/Toronto)
